Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron of France prevailed in a razor-tight showdown for the Olympic gold on Wednesday in Milan, Italy. USA’s Madison Chock and Evan Bates placed a very close second to earn the silver, while Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Canada took the bronze in their third Olympic appearance.

This was not Cizeron’s first Olympic gold, however. With former partner, Gabriella Papadakis, he is the 2022 Olympic champion and the 2018 Olympic silver medalist.
